There is a 'bug' (some in the community would call it a feature) that allows you to slot your lvl 3 and 5 slots in the form powers when you respec.

From looking at your build, I'm not sure how much you're trying to do in human form. From my experience so far, I only use human form for stealth (SS + Shadow Cloak) to set up my hold/mezz and to activate clickies for use in the other 2 forms (Hasten, Stygian Circle, Eclipse, etc). I have barely slotted anything that's specifically for human form because I find Nova and Dwarf are a lot more useful for minute-to-minute gameplay.

I can tell you that you do not need Stealth or Invisibility because you already have Shadow Cloak and Super Speed. Either alone is equal to Stealth and combined, they are equal to Invisibility.

Stygian Circle doesn't need all those slots either. You can get by just fine with 1-2 more additional slots (end mod and maybe a recharge). One mob will almost fully heal you and 1-2 mobs (with 1-2 end mods) will fill up your end bar.

I would also swap out the 1 of the recharges in your Nova AoEs and replace it with a damage.

Beyond that, I don't feel comfortable making any further comments until you clearly state what you want to use each form for.
